Polite Vaudeville Delights Local Audience
The shore company led by Mr. Vincent M Bethe presented a lively vaudeville program featuring Arthur Broughton as interloper and ventriloquist. Waldom and Foa provided tambourine acts while four featured performers displayed clever imitations and historical sketches. Percy Foa and the Rellicking Buckleys offered musical novelty, Roby Eubia sang, Wynnie Boun danced rope skipping, and the Waldens closed with acrobatic feats. The show earned high praise and promises another town visit soon.
